“This would drive up costs to customers” is always fun when it talks about a human component of the cost, because it’s pretty transparently saying they’re currently relying on worker exploitation.

On the other Hand. Local Retailers could get better and cheaper alternatives again. Or you just use other Online Stores here in Germany Amazon is almost never the cheapest.

I suspected you might be German before you even mentioned the Country because Germans have a common Tell when they write. Please understand I find this cute and delightful and hope you aren’t offended. I hopefully have given you no Reason to be. :)

This is perfect, you made my day. I had to read this 5 times until I finally understood the tell. This seems so normal when your native language is German.

I host a forum for an opensource game that’s been around since the 90s. The original developer was German, so there is a bit of extra German around, although it’s truly international by now. In addition to the capitalization thing, I’ve noticed that they tend to be… rather direct compared to American culture, which is itself often a little more direct that, say, UK culture. lol.
